So here I am, writing in the "how do I" section... I read around the tutorial section, I tried to follow some amazing tutorial, but I think the version of the software is so different, it doesn't work as it should... or maybe it's just me who sucks ;)

I'm trying to make a fortified city, with a river and swamps around it.

anyone know any good tut. using photoshop CS4?

Cheers

how detailed should it be - try looking up Ascensions Lazy city tutorial - I believe it is for GIMP, but it should be easily converted (I think) ;)

yea I tried the ascensions V2 town tutorial , but it really doesn't give the same results and the filters are diferent :S

edit - oh! and the cities have to be detailed as much as possible (buildings and all) since i'm crazy :P
real reason is that its a very old, detailed project I made for a rpg, but i'm working on it for a PC game

now I don't know the game - but it being on screen allready lowers the detail level and required resolution. I draw all myself, so I haven't really payed that much attention to tutorials - but you can search the forum with the button in the upper right corner (but you've probably allready done that).

yea, but its mostly for the printout for the tabletop that bothers me, i'll keep on checking around and playing with it

try looking here... http://www.cartographersguild.com/showthread.php?9606 its the city I'm working on - first I sketched it (but you don't have to do that), then I started drawing the roads in illustrator - but you can do those in photoshop as well (own layer - everything on its own layer) - now I'm adding building (in form of squares) to the file, afterwards I'll be adding bevels and textures to the elements and finishing touches - all in photoshop. Hope that helps a little :)
